Summary
System architecture is a part of computer science and networking. Students learn about the structure of computer systems and networks, and how they work.
Synchronous and asynchronous transmission
Synchronous and asynchronous transmission are explained. Synchronous idle characters are defined. Start bits in asynchronous transmission are described.
Network layers and multiplexing
The data link layer is discussed. Time-division multiplexing is described. This is how data transfer capacity is split into time slices.
Data transfer rates and cables
Data transfer rates are explained. The most expensive cable type is named. Noise in communication channels is defined.
Network types and modes
Wide area networks are described. Half-duplex mode is explained. Collisions in network transmissions are defined.
Key terms
- Time-division multiplexing
- Splitting data transfer capacity into time slices and allocating them to multiple users.
- Effective data transfer rate
- The maximum number of bits or bytes per second that the channel actually achieves.
- Noise
- Unwanted signal components added to the data signal.
- Half-duplex mode
- A mode that uses a single shared channel, and each node takes turns using the transmission line.
- Collision
- The mixing of messages when multiple nodes attempt to transmit across the same medium at the same time.
- Network infrastructure
- The spatial organization of network devices, physical routing of network cabling, and flow of messages.
Questions this document helps with
- What are synchronous idle characters?
- How does time-division multiplexing work?
- What is the most expensive cable type?
